IS JESUS THE FATHER?

IS JESUS THE FATHER?

The central message of the entire Bible focuses on Jesus or Yahshua as being the Messiah, the one prophesied to come in the Old Testament.

The Muslims call Jesus Isa and they believe that Jesus was a great prophet of God, but they do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Muslims do not believe that Jesus is even the Son of God like the Bible itself clearly teaches.

The Jews call Jesus Yahshua and they see Jesus as a good man, perhaps a prophet, but they do not see Jesus as their Messiah.

Now all Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah and that Jesus is the SON OF God, but there are SOME Christians who are known as Oneness believers, who believe and teach that Jesus is a MANIFESTATION of Yahweh the Father and to them Jesus IS the Father, as in, Jesus is one and the SELF-SAME being as Yahweh the Father.

Yet other Christians believe that Jesus is Yahweh himself, BUT at the same time, they say that Jesus is NOT the Father. These Christians are known as Trinitarians, or Christians who believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. The main difference between the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of Oneness is that Trinitarians believe that Jesus is a SEPARATE DISTINCT DIFFERENT PERSON from the Father as opposed to the Oneness belief that Jesus IS the Father.

Now ALL the above mentioned faiths use the Holy Bible, or at least the Old Testament of the Bible as a source for what they believe and teach. Some faiths use addition sources, but we will not cover that issue in this study. We will use ONLY the Holy Bible to learn what the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible ITSELF teaches us in regard to the question,

IS JESUS THE FATHER?

So then, what does the Bible ITSELF teach us? Does the Bible itself, as in, does the WHOLE word of God teach us that Jesus IS the Father? Certainly there are SOME verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus is Yahweh himself. I mean even Trinitarians us these same verses used by Oneness believers to try and show that Jesus and Yahweh are one and the same divine eternal God.

Again ALL the above faiths believe and teach that there is only ONE TRUE God, who is the creator of all things and who is the FATHER of ALL.

Now there is another group of Christians that I did not mention above and that group of Christians is called Unitarians. Please see the study “WHAT IS UNITARIANISM?” for a deeper understanding of the many different groups of unitarians within the larger group of Christians who call themselves Unitarians or unitarians with a lowercase “u”. I will just expound on what the Biblical Unitarians believe as compared to Unitarians like the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Many of you may already know that the Jehovah’s Witness teach that God first created his Son Jesus and then Jesus created all other things. Whereas the Biblical Unitarians believe and teach that Jesus was begotten of Yahweh at the Virgin birth and it was Yahweh himself alone, who created all things.

Now I myself am NOT a Oneness believer, I am NOT a Trinitarian, I am NOT a Unitarian like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and I am NOT a Biblical Unitarian, but rather I am a born again believer in Jesus as the SON OF Almighty God the Father.

I do indeed believe that Jesus is DEITY, however I do NOT believe that the Bible itself teaches us that Jesus was Deity DURING the days of his FLESH. But rather Jesus was HIGHLY EXALTED to become God of the whole Earth to rule and reign FOR Yahweh in the world to come for 1000 years.

But what I myself believe and what others believes is NOT what YOU should be basing your faith upon. Rather we all should be basing our faith upon the word of TRUTH, the HOLY BIBLE alone. And when I say the WHOLE word of God, I mean that any and all interpretations that are concluded MUST AGREE with every passage of scripture in the entire Bible or that interpretation is NOT a SOUND Biblical interpretation.

With that being said let us begin with the words of Jesus himself in John 5:39,40.

“Search the scriptures; for in them you THINK you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of ME.

40. And you will not come to me, that you might have life.”

Jesus is speaking to the Jews where, some Jews believed his words and other Jews did not believe his words. Just briefly back in the day of Jesus ALL the descendants of Abraham we called Jews. Today the descendants of Abraham through the seed of Ishmael are primarily Muslims.

The main point here is that ALL the Jews believed and still yet believe in the OLD Testament SCRIPTURES. And Jesus is saying to the Jews that they THINK they have eternal life but they have not discerned that the Scriptures written in the Old Testament TESTY of the Messiah. So Jesus is saying that HE IS the MESSIAH, but yet the Jews and the Muslims are not coming to Jesus so that they will receive ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come. And the false teachings of some Christians are partly to be blamed for keeping both the Jews and the Muslims from coming to Jesus to be saved.

Now let us read John 14:6-13.

“Jesus said unto him, I am the WAY, the truth, and the life: NO man comes unto the Father, but by ME.

7. If you had known ME, you should have known MY Father ALSO: and from henceforth (or hereafter speaking of the receiving of the INDWELLING of the Holy Spirit) you know him, and have seen (or understand) him.

8. Philip said unto him, Lord, SHOW us the FATHER, and it sufficeth us.

9. Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have thou not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say thou then, Show us the Father? (now the Oneness believers quote this verse OUT of its CONTEXT to try and prove that Jesus is saying that he himself IS the FATHER. But the context teaches us that Jesus is the WAY TO the Father. Jesus is the WAY TO eternal life.)

10. Believe you not that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN me? the words that I speak unto you I speak NOT of MYSELF: (In other words, Jesus is saying, please do NOT misunderstand my words, “he that has seen ME has seen the FATHER” for these words I am speaking to you I am NOT speaking of MYSELF as being the FATHER) BUT (rather it is)the Father that DWELLS IN me, HE does the works.

11. Believe me (or BELIEVE what Jesus HIMSELF is teaching you saying of HIMSELF) that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN me: or else believe ME for the very works' sake.

12. Verily, verily, (or TRULY, TRULY) I say unto you, He that believes on ME, the works that I do shall HE do also; and greater works than these shall he do; BECAUSE I go unto my Father.

Joh 14:13 And whatsoever you shall ask (or COMMAND with authority) in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified IN the Son.”

The whole context of John chapters 14,15,16 and the very end of chapter 13 is speaking of US as believers in Jesus as the CHRIST being FILLEd with the SAME ANOINTING who DWELT IN Jesus. Please read the in depth study “THE AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER!” and “JESUS THE CHRIST” for a deeper understanding that the SAME Almighty God Yahweh DWELLS IN YOU to empower YOU to do the same works men saw Jesus do THROUGH the eternal Spirit who DWELT IN HIM.

The mere FACT that Jesus is the WAY TO the Father should raise the question to all Oneness believers of HOW can the Son of god be the WAY TO the Father if so be the Son IS the Father?

And HOW can the Father DWELL IN the Son if so be the son IS the Father? I mean WHY would the Father DWELLING IN the Father?

And HOW is the Father GLORIFIED IN the SON if so be that the Son is one and the self-same being as the Father.

This is why KEEPING the verses IN the CONTEXT is a must when forming church doctrine. Jesus explained thoroughly what he INTENDED his words to mean so that they would NOT be taken OUT of CONTEXT to be MISUNDERSTOOD that he was saying that he himself is the Father. Let us read verse 10 again so you see the truth of God’s word OVER the teachings of your church denomination where the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God is that Jesus is NOT the Father.

John 14:10.

“Believe you not that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN me? the words that I speak unto you I speak NOT of MYSELF: (In other words, Jesus is saying, please do NOT misunderstand my words, “he that has seen ME has seen the FATHER” for these words I am speaking to you I am NOT speaking of MYSELF as being the FATHER) BUT (rather it is)the Father that DWELLS IN me, HE does the works.”

Always remember that what ever INTERPRETATION you draw or conclude that a verse means, that that INTERPRETATION must AGREE with every other verse in the entire Bible.And the Bible clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that the ONE TRUE INVISIBLE God, the eternal Spirit is NOT a MAN and neither is Yahweh the Son of MAN.

Please read Numbers 23:16-19.

“And the LORD (speaking of YAHWEH) met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.

17. And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What has the LORD (or what has YAHWEH HIMSELF) spoken?

18. And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

19. God is NOT a MAN, that he (Yahweh)should lie; neither the son of MAN, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”

This is Yahweh himself speaking where Almighty God himself states as a FACT that does not need any interpretation that HE, Yahweh, the one true God is NOT a MAN nor the Son of MAN.

But there are no verses in the Bible that teach us that Almighty God himself through his eternal Spirit cannot DWELL IN man and DWELL IN the Son of Man Jesus. There is not one verse in the Old Testament that says God cannot HELP man or endue man with POWER from on high. But there is indeed Numbers 23:16-19 that clearly teach us in simplicity that Yahweh himself is NOT a MAN and NEITHER is Yahweh the SON OF MAN.

Jesus is clearly called the Son of MAN over eighty times in the New Testament so clearly Jesus the Son of MAN cannot possibly be Yahweh the Father. And those Christians who teach that Jesus IS Yahweh are CONTRADICTING what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY.

Now there is absolutely no doubt that the Bible itself clearly teaches us that there is but ONE God. But yet the Bible ALSO teaches us that there are TWO who are called God. So HOW do we reconcile this apparent contradiction in God’s word?

Well Christians throughout the history of the church of the firstborn have put forth many THEORIES of how TWO are called God in the Bible and yet the Bible also teaches us that God is ONE. And most every theory tries to make Jesus the Son of MAN to be Yahweh HIMSELF, which contradicts many other verses in the Bible.

The TRUTH of the matter is that the word “God” is a TITLE that can be given to angels and even given mere ordinary men. Yahweh gave this TITLE of God to Moses saying that he would make Moses a God to Pharaoh. But this did not make Moses to be one and the self-same being as Yahweh. Satan is called the God of this world and we know that Satan is NOT Yahweh.

My main point is that Jesus the Son of MAN has THE God Yahweh the Father who is OVER him. In other words, Jesus is indeed called God by his God and Father. And Jesus shall be called God of the whole Earth in the world to come. But Jesus is NOT THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the Father, because that would make TWO Gods who are the ALMIGHTY, which is IMPOSSIBLE because the very meaning of the word ALMIGHTY” is that there are NO other Gods OVER the ONE who is called the ALMIGHTY.

In other words, the mere FACT that Jesus has the Father as HIS God over himself should be all the Biblical prove that any Christian should need to prove to his or herself once and for all time the Jesus is NOT the Father.

Please read the following verses that states as FACT that Yahweh, Almighty God the Father is THE God over his Son Jesus. We will start with the verses where Jesus HIMSELF clearly and plainly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Almighty God the father is HIS God by saying MY God and MY Father.

Matthew 27:46.

“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, MY God, MY God, why have YOU forsaken ME?”

There are hundreds of verses in the New Testament where Jesus the Son of MAN is clearly and plainly seen as a SEPARATE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT PERSON from Almighty God the Father. This YOU and ME distinct BETWEEN the Son and the Father is emphatically stated as FACT throughout the entire New Testament.

“Jesus said unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to MY Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto MY Father, and your Father; and to MY God, and your God.”

Here in the same verse Jesus clearly identifies the Father as being HIS God and HIS Father. Again a single person can be both a father and a son at the same time but it is impossible for a son to be his OWN father.

Revelation 3:12.

“Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of MY God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of MY God, and the name of the city of MY God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from MY God: and I will write upon him my NEW NAME.”

Here in this one verse Jesus says FOUR times that Yahweh is HIS God. And please keep in mind that this is AFTER Yahweh the Father HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of MAN to GIVE Jesus a NEW NAME, which was PROPHESIED in the Old Testament for his ANOINTED servant to be CALLED or to be given the TITLE of God of the whole Earth. Please read the study “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON?” for a deeper understanding that it was AFTER the Son of MAN endure the CROSS that HIS God and father HIGHLY EXALTED him and gave him a NEW NAME that is above every other name except fro the NAME Yahweh, which is God’s NAME forever.

“God also said to Moses, "Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is MY NAME forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.”

So then, the NAME of the ONE TRUE God of the OLD Testament is YAHWEH and that is HIS name FOREVER. Yahweh’s TITLE is God, but his NAME is Yahweh and there is only ONE Yahweh, as in, there is ONE BEING speaking here whose NAME is Yahweh.

Now like we as humans NAME our children with our OWN name so also does Yahweh NAME his only begotten Son with a NEW NAME and also GIVES the Son of MAN Jesus the TITLE of God prophesying that he SHALL be CALLED God of the whole Earth. The God of Israel. But these TITLES do not make jesus to BE one and the self-same BEING as Yahweh the Father.

I cover all these verses of prophecy in some of my other studies, so if you want a deeper understand of who Jesus was BEFORE the Virgin birth, who Jesus was DURING the days of his FLESH and who Jesus is NOW after being HIGHLY EXALTED, then please read the studies “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON?”, “COLOSSIANS 1:16 DID JESUS CREATE ALL THINGS?”, and “IS JESUS ALMIGHTY GOD?. But for now let us continue with this study in God’s word by taking a closer look at how the Apostles of Jesus took great care in showing us that the Son is NOT the Father.

Please read the following verses taken from each and every book of the New Testament except ONE single book, 3 John, the ONLY book in the entire New Testament, which does not teach us in simplicity that Jesus is NOT the Father and that Almighty God the Father is the God OF Jesus. And that is only because 3 John does not even mention the words Father, Son, Christ, or Jesus.

Acts 2:33.

“Therefore being by the right hand ofGod exalted, and having received OFthe Fatherthe promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.”

Romans 1:7.

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our FATHER, ANDthe Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Now some ONENESS believers may INTERPRET this verse to wrongly teach that Jesus IS the FATHER, but that does not make it so just because some church denomination INCORRECTLY interprets verses in the Bible. We must interpret each verse in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God. And the next verse clearly teaches us that Jesus is NOT the FATHER, but rather that God is the Father OF Jesus.

Romans 15:6.

“That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, EVEN the FATHEROF our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Bible teaches us that we ought to all be speaking and teaching the SAME things. There should be NO divisions in the church of the firstborn, our brother Jesus the ANOINTED Son of MAN.

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being clearly identified as being our Lord and CHRIST. I want you to read the word “Christ” as ANOINTED. Christ is NOT the last name of Jesus. Christ is not even really a title given to the Son of MAN. But rather the word “Christ” means to be ANOINTED OF God and being anointed of God means that Almighty God the eternal Spirit DWELLS IN you. So begin seeing the TRUTH. that Almighty God the Father DWELT IN the Son of MAN Jesus to empower the MAN of God to over to overcome sin. Please read the study “JESUS THE CHRIST” for a deeper understanding of what it means for Jesus to be the CHRIST.

Now I myself do not see how some Oneness believers are not seeing the TRUTH that Jesus is NOT the FATHER. I mean how can the word of TRUTH make it any CLEARER than this? The writer of this New testament book of 1 Corinthians goes the extra miles, so to speak, to specifically state that he is sending greeting of grace, and peace FROM both Almighty God the Father AND that he is sending this greeting of grace and peace FROM the Lord Jesus anointed.

So again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being the Lord and the Christ, the ANOINTED of God the Father.

1 Corinthians 15:2.

“Then comes the end, when he(Jesus the SON OF Almighty God the FATHER) shall have delivered up the kingdom TOGod, EVEN the Father; when he (the Father) shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being the SON OF God, who is our Lord and CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 1:2.

“Grace be to you and peace FROMGod our FATHER, ANDFROM the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Now in some other verses, some Oneness believers interpret the “and” as mean that God is both the Father and the son at the same time. But this verse and well as some other verses cannot possibly be TWISTED to mean that God is both the Father AND his very own Son at the SAME time.

Once again as always, the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that the ONE God as being identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST. Now some ONENESS believers may INTERPRET this verse to wrongly teach that Jesus IS the FATHER, but that does not make it so just because some church denomination INCORRECTLY interprets verse in the Bible.

We must always interpret each verse in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God. And the next verse clearly teaches us that Jesus is NOT the FATHER, but rather that God is the Father OF Jesus.

So again the CLEAR, plain and SIMPLE teaching of God’s word of TRUTH is teaching us in SIMPLICITY that the ONE TRUE God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and the SON of MAN as being the Lord Jesus Christ, the ANOINTED man chosen of God to be his Messiah.

Again my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being the Lord Jesus Christ. So to all my Oneness brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, I implore you to read this verse with your eyes OPEN so you will clearly see that Jesus, the SON OF God is clearly a SEPARATE person from Almighty God the Father and that they are TWO DIFFERENT beings.

2 Corinthians 1:3.

“Blessed be God, EVEN the FatherOF our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;”

Again God is clearly identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST the ANOINTED Son of MAN. Almighty God the FATHER is being identified as the Father OF our Lord Jesus the CHRIST, the ANOINTED OF God along with being identified as the Father of mercies and also as the God of all comfort.

2 Corinthians 11:31.

“The God and FatherOF our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knows that I lie not.”

In other words, Yahweh is not ONLY the Father OF Jesus, but Yahweh is ALSO THE GOD OF Jesus. I mean how can anyone who is honest with their self and with Almighty God read these clear, plain, and simple words any other way?

So again Yahweh, the ONE true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST, the ANOINTED Son of MAN, whom the GOD and the Father OF our Lord Jesus highly exalted to become a God by his God and Father to rule and reign FOR his God and Father in the world to come..

Galatians 1:1.

“Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, ANDGod the Father, who raised him from the dead;)”

Again to my Oneness readers I implore you to correctly interpret the word “AND” here as a conjunction joining TWO SEPARATE persons and NOT as saying that Jesus IS God the FATHER. We must interpret every verse in the LIGHT of ALL the verses in the Bible. So keep reading the CONTEXT of Galatian 1:1 comparing you Oneness doctrine with verse 3.

Galatians 1:3.

“Grace be to you and peace FROMGod the Father, ANDFROM our Lord Jesus Christ,”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER ALONE and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST. I mean how can the greeting of grace and peace be FROM one person called God the FATHER and ALSO being FROM another person called our Lord Jesus Christ if so be they are ONE and the self-same BEING?

Galatians 1:4.

“Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the WILL OF God and our Father:”

It was not always the WILL of the Son of MAN Jesus to suffer and die on the cross for the sins of the world. Jesus has a DIFFERENT WILL that he had to crucify FIRST through prayer and SUFFERING TEMPTATION. But thanks be to God that the Son of MAN , who THROUGH the POWER of the ANOINTING, the ETERNAL Spirit DWELLING IN him, told his OWN will to shut up and yield to his God and Father’s WILL saying, nevertheless Father not MY will but YOUR WILL be done.

Please read the study “THE HUMAN JESUS!” for a deeper understanding that Jesus was TRULY a HUMAN being, the Son of MAN, who was ANOINTED with power from on high and it was THROUGH the power of the eternal Holy Spirit DWELLING IN him that the Son of MAN was empowered to endure the cross for us his fellow man, his fellow servant, his brothers and sisters who will one day soon become JOINT HEIRS WITH him in the world to come.

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST. Also for the "oneness" believers all through these verses we clearly see TWO different beings. The words “FROM God our Father AND FROM the Lord Jesus Christ” simply cannot be interpreted to mean ONE and the SELF-SAME being. Clearly the Bible ITSELF teaches us that we MUST believe in BOTH the Father AND the SON.

Ephesians 1:3.

“Blessed be THE God AND FatherOF our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

Here again we see that Yahweh is THE God OF his Son Jesus AND Yahweh is THE FATHER OF his Son Jesus.

So again, the word of TRUTH, clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that God is always clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

One more time so this truth sinks down into your heart. In this verse we ALSO see the writer of Ephesians identifying the Father OF Jesus as being the GOD OF Jesus as well. So then, Yahweh, the ONE TRUE God, who is the ONLY God, who is THE ALMIGHTY. is BOTH THE God AND THE Father OF Jesus.

Ephesians 1:17.

“That THE God OF our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:”

Yahweh ALONE is the Father of GLORY who he prophesied that he would not share with another other than his elect, his chosen servant, the Son of MAN whom he himself would ANOINT to be his Messiah.

The subject of this verse is THE God, who is THE GOD OF Jesus, speaking of Almighty God the FATHER, as being the Father of glory, who gives us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. And who GLORIFIED the Son of MAN with his glory to be having the divine nature of immortality in himself even as the Father of glory has always has immortality in himself.

Ephesians 4:6.

“ONE God and FATHER of ALL, who is ABOVE ALL, and through all, and in you all.”

In this verse the writer of the book of Ephesians clearly and plainly identifies the ALMIGHTY the God, who is ABOVE ALL as being the ONE God called the FATHER. So simple ask yourself if the Bible ITSELF teaches us anywhere that the Father is ABOVE his SON Jesus?

Now if you are honest with yourself and with Almighty God, then you will agree that Yahweh ALONE is the ONE God, who is the Father of all, who is ABOVE all including being ABOVE his Son Jesus whom he highly exalted to be above everyone else EXCEPT for HIS God and Father Yahweh who MADE the Son of MAN to be both Lord and Christ.

Ephesians 5:20.

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”

Again God is clearly identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Ephesians 6:23.

“Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the FatherAND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Philippians 1:2.

“Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 2:11.

“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, TO the glory OFGod the Father.”

In this verse the writer teaches us that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and NOT that confess that Jesus is THE ALMIGHTY YAHWEH HIMSELF. So once again THE ALMIGHTY God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST. Also notice that it is TO the GLORY OF the FATHER that every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord.

Philippians 4:20.

“Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

In this verse we see only the FATHER as being God. I fully realize that in Hebrews 1:8 Jesus is CALLED God by his God and Father, but this does not mean that Jesus is THE ONE TRUE and only ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the Father because there cannot be TWO Gods who are the ALMIGHTY. For you see in the very next verse Hebrews 1:9 we can clearly see that there are indeed TWO Gods.

There is Yahweh the Father who is THE GOD OF his God whom he highly exalted to become a God to rule FOR him while he takes a day of to rest in the SEVENTH 1000 year long DAY of the Lord.

Colossians 1:2.

“To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our FatherAND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Now most all Trinitarians fully understand the TRUTH that Yahweh is the Father OF jesus but not all Trinitarians have seen the TRUTH that Yahweh is ALSO THE GOD OF Jesus as well.

Again this verse is saying that Yahweh, the ONE TRUE God is the THE GOD OF Jesus and the FATHER OF Jesus, which agrees with the rest of God's word. Now Trinitians do indeed see the TRUTH the Jesus is NOT the FATHER, but they have not yet seen the TRUTH that Jesus is NOT Yahweh, the ONE TRUE and ONLY God, who is the ALMIGHTY, the HIGHEST God over all other Gods including being THE God OVER Jesus the SON OF Almighty God the FATHER who ALONE is Yahweh the creator of all things and the SOURCE of all life.

1 Thessalonians 1:1.

“Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is INGod the Father ANDIN the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

To all my Oneness readers please notice that the church is IN both the Father AND also IN his Son. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that Jesus is NOT the Father. Jesus came out from the Father, but this does not mean that Jesus is the Father. I mean ALL things came out from Yahweh the Father, but this does NOT mean that you and I are one and the self-same being as the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God Yahweh who ALONE and by himself created all things.

So again the ONE God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

1 Thessalonians 1:3.

“Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope IN our Lord Jesus Christ, IN the sight of God and our Father;”

So then, we have hope IN the one person, our Lord Jesus ANOINTED. And we have this hope IN the SIGHT of another person, God and our Father.

So again God is clearly identified as being one person, who is the FATHER and Jesus as being another person, who is the Lord and CHRIST, the Son of MAN who was ANOINTED of the Father.

Here in this verse God is the FATHER and the ANOINTED Jesus is our Lord.

So again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Titus 1:4.

“To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the FatherAND the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Philemon 1:3.

“Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

James 1:27.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

James 3:9.

“Therewith bless we God, EVEN the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.”

In this verse like 1 Corinthians 8:6 the writer EMPHASIZES God being SOLELY identified as being the FATHER ALONE that he says EVEN the FATHER.

1 Peter 1:2.

“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God THE Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”

Not God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit but rather God, THE Father, as in, God, EVEN, THE FATHER is God alone.

1 Peter 1:3.

“Blessed be THE God AND Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

Here again the Almighty is being clearly identified as the God OF Jesus as well as the Father OF Jesus. And Jesus is identified as Lord and Christ, the ANOINTED OF God. Now you would think that Trinitarians, who KNOW that Almighty God is the FATHER OF Jesus understand and KNOW that this means that Jesus is NOT the FATHER, that they would in the SAME way know and understand that Jesus is NOT THE ONE TRUE and only ALMIGHTY God who is always clearly identified as being the FATHER.

In other words, you would think that Trinitarians would SEE and understand in the SAME way that they have come to know and understand by the words “God and Father OF Jesus” that Jesus is NOT the Father, that they would ALSO see and understand by the SAME words “GOD AND Father OF Jesus” that Jesus is NOT GOD, as in Jesus is not THE ONE TRUE and only ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is Yahweh the FATHER.

2 Peter 1:17.

“For he (Jesus the SON OF Almighty God the FATHER) received FROM GOD (who IS) the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved SON, in whom I am well pleased.”

Jesus is NOT the SAME God FROM whom he receives. Yes, Jesus is God, but ALMIGHTY God who IS the FATHER is THE GOD OF his SON Jesus. They are NOT one and the SELF-SAME BEING. They are two separate PERSONS and they are TWO separate BEINGS, which makes them to be TWO SEPARATE GODS where the father is THE ONE TRUE God who is OVER and ABOVE his Son Jesus who he himself HIGHLY EXALTED and gave the NAME or TITLE of God to rule and reign FOR him in the world to come.

1 John 3:1.

“Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.”

2 John 1:3.

“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God THE Father, AND from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”

Again God is clearly identified as being the FATHER and Jesus as being Lord and CHRIST.

Nowhere in the entire Bible will you find the words, “God the Son”. When the Bibles says, God the Father it means that God IS THE Father and NOT that God is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

If so be that the very apostles of Jesus believed that God is a Trinity God then they failed miserably to TEACH us that God is a Trinity. In all these verse we just read the writers of the New testament could have easily STATED as FACT that God is a Trinity by sending greeting to the churches saying something like, grace and peace from our ONE God which is the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but yet we do NOT find ANY wording in the entire Bible even resembling the that one true God is a Trinity.

Nor does the Bible ITSELF ever state as a FACT that Jesus IS the FATHER.

2 John 1:9.

“Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has BOTH the Father AND the Son.”

In this verse we clearly see that we must without fail believe in BOTH Almighty God the Father AND in his SON Jesus. Now to ME, if so be that the word of God truly taught the doctrine of the trinity, then this verse would have been the ideal place to ADD the Holy Spirit and clearly teach us that we must believe in all THREE rather than believing in only BOTH the Father and the Son. Please read the study called “THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON!” and the study “THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FATHER!” for a deeper understanding that in truth the Bible only speaks of TWO different persons and NOT three different persons as the doctrine of the trinity dogmatically demands there to be THREE person in one divine being called the ALMIGHTY God.

And if so be that the doctrine of Oneness were truly taught in the Bible ITSELF, then those who wrote the New Testament missed their golden opportunity to clearly and plainly teach us the Jesus IS the FATHER. I mean the writers of the New Testament should have never used such CLEAR undeniable language to plainly show us the DISTINCTION between the Father AND his SON.

I mean WHY did the writers of the New Testament ALWAYS clearly identify the FATHER as being THE God who is OVER his SON Jesus? Could it be that THEY knew and understood perfectly that Jesus was NOT Yahweh the ONE TRUE and only ALMIGHTY God?

How is it that some Christians believe the so called church fathers OVER what the Bible ITSELF teaches? Probably because they do not read and study the word of TRUTH for themselves without trying to prove their man-made doctrines and traditions of men which their church denomination taught to them.

Jude 1:1.

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father,AND preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:”

Again the FATHER is identified as being God.

Revelation 1:6.

“And has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Here we see that is was by or through our faith in Jesus who made us to become UNTO God and HIS Father priest and kings. Again showing us the clear distinction BETWEEN Almighty God the Father and his SON Jesus.

In the four gospels Jesus HIMSELF identifies the one TRUE God and being the FATHER. Please read John 17:3 where Jesus is praying to his God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God.

John 17:3.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know YOU the ONLY TRUE God, AND Jesus Christ, whom YOU have sent.”

In other words, Jesus is praying TO his God and Father for us to know that the FATHER alone or ONLY is the ONE TRUE God, AND also to know that Jesus was SENT, as in, the Son of MAN, was COMMISSION BY the ONE and ONLY TRUE God. The literal meaning of SENT is COMMISSIONED, which means that God gave his Son power and authority to accomplish the task of doing all his God and Father's WILL.

In 1 John 4:9-15 we can see in verse 9 that God sent or COMMISSIONED his only begotten SON and in verse 14 we can see that the FATHER sent his SON which again clearly shows us that God is the FATHER alone, as in, the Father ALONE is the ONLY true God.

1 John 4:9-15.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God SENT his only begotten SON into the world, that we might live through him.

10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12. No man has seen God at any time. (and clearly many men have indeed seen Jesus) If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. (Here we know that God and his Spirit are one and the same eternal divine being.)

14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT the Sonto be the Savior of the world. (again the word SENT means COMMISSIONED)

15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the SON OF God, God dwells in him, and he in God.”

Please notice that nowhere in the word of God are we ever clearly and plainly taught that we must believe that Jesus IS the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God YAHWEH HIMSELF, but we are clearly and plainly taught that we are to believe and CONFESS that Jesus is the SON OF Almighty God the Father, who SENT his SON out into the world to be the atonement for our sins.

So then, the ONLY book in the New Testament that does not clearly and plainly identify the one true and only Almighty God as being the FATHER is 3 John, which does not even mention either the Father or his Son Jesus. But the same writer also wrote 1st and 2nd John which does clearly identify the FATHER as being GOD.

Now that we have clearly established that the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, clearly and plainly identifies ONLY the FATHER as being God and THE God OF his SON Jesus the Christ, we can now move on to clearly establish that the GODHEAD is speaking ONLY of Almighty God the FATHER ALONE and NOT three persons in the Godhead.

Acts 17:28, 29.

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also HIS offspring.

29. For as much then as we are the offspring of God, (speaking of Almighty God the FATHER as we have just learned in this study in God's word) we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.”

The word “Godhead” refers back to the word “God”, which we KNOW is speaking of the FATHER alone and NOT the SON OF Almighty God the Father, because in the same CONTEXT in verse 31 this same God or GODHEAD is clearly shown to be THE God who ORDAINED the MAN Jesus to judge the world.

Please read Acts:17:31.

“Because HE (speaking of the UNKNOWN God whom Paul is teaching the heathens as being the CREATOR of ALL things who) has appointed a day, in the which HE (Yahweh, the Father) will judge the world in righteousness BY that MAN(referring to the Son of MAN, Jesus) whom HE (Yahweh the Father, the ONE GODHEAD) has ORDAINED; whereof HE (Yahweh the Godhead) has given assurance unto all men, in that HE (Yahweh the Father the Godhead) has raised HIM (the Son of MAN whom Yahweh, the Godhead, ORDAINED to judge the world by his RIGHTEOUSNESS) from the dead.”

So then, the writer is merely pointing out that we are never to think of God or the Godhead, the SUPREME DIVINE being, as some sculpture, artwork, or image made of stone, wood, gold or silver. And when you read the CONTEXT where Paul is teaching the pagans in Athens that their UNKNOWN GOD is the God of the Bible who created all things you will find the SINGULAR use of HIS offspring and not THEIR offspring in Acts 17:28.

Trinitarians like to use the PLURAL of Elohim in Genesis where God say let US make man in OUR image, but then they do NOT point out the SINGULAR use of God and HE made man in his own image. Please read the study "GENESIS 1:26 LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE!"

Now let us take a look at Romans 1:20, which teaches us that all created things are made from the UNSEEN or from that which is INVISIBLE, which is SPIRIT or Almighty God HIMSELF, because God IS SPIRIT an INVISIBLE.

Romans 1:20.

“For the invisible things OF him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are MADE(in other words, what was ONCE or at one time was INVISIBLE was CREATED or made to BE visible or material tangible things of creation that were created FROM and BY the eternal INVISIBLE God or Godhead speaking of the FATHER of ALL), even HIS(SINGULAR) eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”

The spoken WORD or SAYING of God was MADE flesh and dwelt among us to SHOW or give to us the UNDERSTANDING of the eternal power of the GODHEAD. God MANIFESTED HIMSELF, his true character of LOVE and mercy by becoming or being MADE FLESH. Please read the study "WHAT DOES GOD INCARNATE TRULY MEAN?"

Another verse that helps interpret this verse and the Godhead is Hebrews 11:3 that clearly teaches us that the material things of creation were made or created from that which is NOT SEEN or from the INVISIBLE.

Hebrews 11:3.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God (speaking of the SPOKEN word of YAHWEH the FATHER of ALL), so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

In other words, the things that are SEEN were NOT made from that which is SEEN, but rather all creation came out from the INVISIBLE divine supreme being, which the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible always clearly and plainly identifies as being the FATHER alone.

The third and only other time we see the word “Godhead” in the Bible is found in Colossians 2:9 where we are clearly and plainly taught that the fullness OF the Godhead DWELT IN the SON OF Almighty God as opposed to Jesus actually BEING the fullness of the Godhead HIMSELF being fully one and the self same being as THE ALMIGHTY God YAHWEH in the flesh and fully a man at the same time. Nowhere in the Bible ITSELF will you find Jesus being called the SECOND person of the Godhead.

Colossians 2:9

“For IN him DWELLS all the fulness OF the Godhead bodily.”

This is what the doctrine of CHRIST means. The whole word of God clearly and plainly teaches us that Almighty God the Father, the sole divine supreme being creator of all DWELT IN his Son Jesus to EMPOWER his Son to do all the will of his God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the FATHER of ALL.

Now let us read what Jesus himself teaches us about HIS God and Father in Matthew 4:10,

“…for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.”

Jesus saw the Father as his God and the ONLY one to worship and serve. Jesus would not be tempted to worship another.

I Corinthians 8:4 says,

“…for there is NONE OTHER God but ONE”.

God, who is the FATHER is God alone and there is NONE OTHER God but the FATHER. In other words, every time you read the word "God" in the New Testament it is ALWAYS referring to the FATHER as being God, EXCEPT for one verse found in Hebrews 1:8,9 where the Father calls his SON Jesus God in verse 8 and calls himself THE GOD OF his SON whom he himself highly exalted to become a God after his SON become obedient to all the will of his God and Father even to suffer and die for the sins of the whole world so that whosoever BELIEVES on the SON OF God might be saved.

For a deeper understanding on Jesus becoming a God to be under his God and Father to rule and reign at his side for a 1000 years please read the studies "OUR GOD IS ONE!" and "IS JESUS ALMIGHTY GOD?", but for now let us continue laying the FOUNDATION of the Bible ITSELF teaches us that there is but ONE God and NONE OTHER God but ONE.

In I Timothy we read 2:5

“For there is ONE God, and ONE mediatorbetween God and men,the MANChrist Jesus;”

Again we see that there is but ONE God, which as the Bible says is the FATHER. In this verse we also see that there is only ONE mediator BETWEEN God and men, and this mediator is the MANChrist Jesus.

When you read the new Testament pay attention to just how many times Jesus is referred to as the Son of MAN or you can read the study "JESUS THE SON OF MAN!", but for now I want you to know that it was NECESSARY for our atonement to be FULLY a HUMAN being who was tempted in all points just like we are tempted in order to become our MEDIATOR between God and mankind.

The Bible says that by one MAN sin entered into the world and by one MAN came the resurrection to be judged. And John 5:27 teaches us that for the very reason of Jesus being the Son of MAN his God and Father GAVE his SON Jesus all authority and power to JUDGE mankind and the fallen angels.

John 5:27.

"And has GIVEN him authority to execute judgment ALSO, BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN."

The word “mediator” carries the meaning of making peace between God and mankind. You see sin separated mankind from God and Jesus was chosen by his God and Father as the means to reconcile mankind back to himself. The word of God says GOODWILL toward men for unto to US is a child born. God could have destroyed mankind and created something else, another species, but he chose to create in us a new heart to BECOME his NEW CREATION.

So then, Yahweh sent his SPOKEN word or SAYING down out of heaven to the earth BY his Angel Gabriel in the fullness of time to SPEAK to the virgin Mary. And when the virgin Mary believed and received God's SPOKEN LOGOS a CHILD was conceived in the womb of the virgin Mary to be BORN the Son of MAN who would be called the SON of the HIGHEST or the SON OF the ALMIGHTY God whom the Bible calls the FATHER. God THEN sent his Son Jesus, the Son of MAN out into the world to become a ransom for us to then become the mediator between God and mankind.

All the way through the word of God there is found a clear distinctionbetween Almighty God, the ONE true and only wise God and his Son Jesus, the Son of MAN. The word of God also shows us that there is UNITY between the Father and the Son, but NOT in the sense that they are ONE and the SELF-SAME being as some falsely teach.

In Revelation 5 John wept because no MAN was FOUND to be WORTHY to open the seals. And the angel told John to weep not for the Lamb was FOUND WORTHY.

Please read Revelation 5:1-14.

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne (Revelation chapter 4 teaches us that the ONE sitting on the throne is Yahweh, Almighty God the Father. So in the right hand of Yahweh the Father is) a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is WORTHY to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3. And no MAN in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4. And I wept much, because no MAN was found WORTHY to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has PREVAILED to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (in other words, the only MAN who lived without sin was the Son of MAN Jesus)

6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, STOOD a Lamb as it had been slain, (If the Son of MAN would have obeyed his OWN WILL and had NOT been SALIN then the Son of MAN would not have PREVAILED, but the Son of MAN was SLAIN and thus the Son of MAN was found WORTHY to open the seals. Also we see that Yahweh was SITTING and the Lamb slain was STANDING) having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7. And he(The Lamb, the Son of MAN slain, the only MAN found WORTHY)came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9. And they sung a NEW song, saying, You are WORTHY to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: FOR(or BECAUSE)you were SLAIN, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (the Son of MAN Jesus was FOUND to be WORTHY BECAUSE the Son of MAN was SLAIN as an innocent MAN)

10. And have made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

11. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12. Saying with a loud voice, WORTHY is the Lamb that was SLAIN to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. (BECAUSE the SON of MAN was SLAIN as an INNOCENT MAN he was found WORTHY to RECEIVE all that God had promised him in the Scriptures and by the Holy Spirit)

13. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, ANDunto the Lamb for ever and ever. (there are TWO in heaven my dear Oneness brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, the NOW highly exalted Son of MAN who was GLORIFIED by the Father with the honor of being at the right hand side of Yahweh the Father)

14. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever.”

And to all my Trinitarian brothers and sister in our Lord Jesus the ANOINTED Son of MAN who was SLAIN was truly and fully a HUMAN being void of any divine nature UNTIL the Son of MAN was HIGHLY EXALTED by his God and Father to be GIVEN the divine nature of immortality as the JOY set before the Son of MAN to endure the cross.

Please read the study “THE HUMAN JESUS” for even more sound Biblical proof that Jesus was NOT a God/man have TWO natures at the same time, one divine, and one human as the man-made doctrine. of the Deity of Jesus teaches.

Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God the FATHER.

Your brother in ur Lord Jesus the CHRIST,

Mark.

Always be faithful to share to preach and teach the whole gospel of Jesus Christ!
